the littlest things I like the most:
-Triple turn signal
-The little blue lights under the door handles that illuminate when you unlock the doors.
-The orange "ambient" lighting

Love the SOS button in by the panaromaic roof switch ...(i like the way you have to flick the cover down first then you see it glowing...the temptation to press it is killing me already!)

ambient lighting (inside and out)
moonroof is ridiculous... can't wait to use it for real in the summertime.
Lastly, I've driven an SUV for 14 years. Now with the E70, I like the feeling that I'm driving around in the best-all-around SUV out there right now. Nothing tops that feeling really.

Go ahead! Press the SOS button. It's fun!

The power of the 4.8 V8....

The smooth and comfortable ride

The kick ass stereo

The auto lights & wipers.

The daylight running ring lights, that tell people to "move out of the way, I'm coming through" hehehehehe.... A little intimidation.....

That lovely V8 growl, when you mash the pedal....

^ forgot about the auto lights. The way they operate without having to ever touch the lighting system is perfect.

love
comfort access
autotailgate
auto sensing wipers
smooth operation
heated seats (they actually work!)

Hate
turn signals (not crazy about the design/feel)
NAV (requires more work than necessary) a Garmin is much better!
keyfob (comfort access option loses the rechargeable battery)
speakers
mileage
flimsy hood (feels cheap when you open/close it)


Especially Hate
The fact that you have to order fender flares for this vehicle (it should be included in the standard design and not sold as an upgrade/option)

The fact that the backup camera takes too long to activate/deactive when a Toyota 4runner with same feature shows no delay whatsoever..

The fact that the NAV is not touch screen..... and that it still uses DVD media when the smaller portable ones don't and they offer the same coverage!! say no more!

The fact that there is a center mounted dash speaker/tweeter and nothing more... (doesn't give me the surround sound experience i'm looking for)

My favorite little thing is that all of the windows are auto down AND up. I'm digging the new Family Truckster!

I love how the 2nd and 3rd row seats fold COMPLETELY flat...unlike some other SUVs
